I think I tried flipping the air cleaner and the bolt wasn't long enough, lol. I'm debating between a cheap 350 build, or finding the lesser used 400 small block. I hope to ditch the old TH200 for either a TH350 or a 4 speed as well.

Today it's finally getting a MUCH needed tune up and hopefully new shocks all the way around... they're all toast!

Yes Pantera it is, the whole suspension is shot and needs redone, badly! And by 4 speed, I DO mean an extra pedal!

I did do the tune up today (as in the lady did most of it, she loves doing this kind of thing). Does the old cap look a little off? Haha. The ignition rotor also had old spider eggs on it! I'm now running an MSD cap and rotor, along with a new wireset and some new plugs.

Yesterday was another quite successful day on the car, despite rain rolling in when I just started working on the second side of the car, lol. The day consisted of new sway bar links, new rotors, pads and wheel bearings!

I used Duralast for the sway bar links (opted for the heavy duty for $1 more apiece), rotors and wheel bearings, while I used Timken wheel seals and Duralast Gold Cmax pads as they're the top of the line ceramic pads that my work offers. I picked up new dust caps as well, of course. I bought all of these at a good time too, had a 30% off weekend at my store!

I went to take the links off, and the bottoms of both snapped clean off. I was able to get them to both come apart piece by piece after that, thanks to days of soaking in PB Blaster, and two pairs of vice grips.

From the front view of the rotors, you can see on both sides where the vehicle sat for quite some time! Both axle nuts were also so loose that I removed them by hand...

And this is why I wanted them all replaced! Nasty!

Oh we fancy now! The calipers will be painted, just a matter of finding that right shade of blue...
